Birch Aquarium

Tim had to go get fitted for a tux for a wedding that he was an usher for and since we were down there, we decided to make a day out of it and go to Birch Aquarium.

While Tim was getting fitted, Rachel and I went to Starbucks and she got a pink donut and absolutely loved it. She licked the frosting off the top and was sooo happy to be eating it.

Since going there, she has been talking nonstop about everything ocean.

She loved the tide pools and kept saying that she wanted to touch stuff, but as soon as she would reach for it, she would pull back. She wasn't quite ready yet.

I think her favorite thing was the hands on with the toys. She didn't want to leave that area.

She did enjoy the see-saw as well.

Initially, she was really excited by the octopus, but after he moved towards us, she started to get a bit freaked out. She also was afraid the octopus was going to eat the starfish.

She was so exhausted after our day and after a couple of snacks, barely made it out of the parking lot.
